  • Wheel alignment tool
    Patent number: 4768279
    Abstract: A tool and method for mounting a vehicle wheel comprising an elongated body having an integral tapered head and support housing. The tapered head is inserted through a vehicle wheel aperture so as to receive a lug bolt therein protruding from the vehicle hub. Reception of a lug bolt within the central bore aligns the lug bolt within the wheel aperture and maintains such alignment. This relationship allows the remaining lug bolt/aperture combinations to be properly aligned by the user prior to the fastening of the lug nut thereto.
